User Reviews for ZzzQuil oral

I started using this due to some trouble sleeping in relation to my anxiety troubles and thus far have been quite pleased with the ability to put me to sleep, I've talked to my doctor with my continue usage of the product and she says its all good so I'm quite happy with the product, hopefully I wont have to continue using it though.

Well, one thing I can say for sure - I've gone back to my "natural" sleeping medicine, which is laying in bed reading a book for about 45 minutes before turning out the light. This stuff was DISASTER for me. I would take it and fall asleep, but wake up after about three hours and NEVER get back to sleep. Meanwhile, I would feel like the Battle of Gettysburg was going on in my stomach, and I would toss and turn for the next four hours. Literally continually toss and turn. I'd feel sick in the morning. I tried it several times, and the SAME effect each time. The remainder of this box has gone in the trash. Never again. Read More Read Less

I’m pretty small, so I expected the recommended dose to be more than enough (I went with the gel capsules). Took it around 9 and while I felt a bit drowsy, I didn’t fall asleep till past 1 (when I am normally able to fall asleep). I didn’t wake up feeling drowsy, but I certainly didn’t feel well rested.

I have tried this medication for three nights now if anything it has increased the lack of sleep I get I would take the recommended dose and feel like I would wake up more like a small shot of caffeine not sure if it's the sugar from the flavoring or just the effect it has on my body I am very unsatisfied with this medication I will never ever use this medication again!!! You see a big name like Vicks and you think you get a quality product I'm very disappointed did not help at all not even a little I even tried taking a dose and a half did nothingRead More Read Less

I bought this product thinking it would just knock me out like NYQuil, I was WRONG. I took it around ten, the recommended dosage might I add! when I usually prepare to sleep and I felt fine a little drowsy, I felt like my body was kind of fighting the drowsiness which is understandable being my first time using it. I was up until 2:30 in the morning,by 1am I was experiencing dark hullicinations, all the posters on my walls were like moving like the waves of an ocean. I kept seeing people next to me and I could hear people talking to me. Hullicinations are said to be one of the very rare side effects of this drug so maybe it's just me but it was hands down the most terrifying experience of my life. Read More Read Less

I have tried every prescription med for sleep that is out there...(1) they don't work & (2) they all gave me the next day "hangover fog". I can say that Z-Quil put me to sleep quicker than any Rx pill I have ever tried and it does not give me the next fog...I am however concerned about long term use & plan to consult with my MD about this (is it any more dangerous than a Rx pill?)...I have been using this for 3wks now.

I've been taking a shot of this a night for about a week now. Still can't fall asleep

Have had trouble getting to sleep. Saw this at the store and bought a small bottle. Used it twice in the past week and get to sleep very fast. Only thing is I sleep too long, but wake up refreshed.

I can't tell if I'm just lucky to get tired some nights, but usually when I take this and unable to sleep it doesn't do anything. I don't feel tired or relaxed. Then when I do sleep I still wake up in a few hours. NyQuil worked better for me, disappointed.

Had trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep so I tried this....I fall right to sleep most nights...I have been using it everynight for about 6 weeks but noticed the past week that I'm not feeling good....constant diarrhea, nausea, loss of appetitite...I do not know of its from taking this everynight or not but feel I will cut back and see...

I couldn't sleep for like two weeks and became restless. I saw this in Walmart and decided to give it a go and I had the best sleep ever!!! Woke up feeling refreshed!! I'm usually a light sleeper and anything wakes me up but this medication had me knocked out. I highly recommend!!

I take a 1/4 dose at night and it makes me sleep very well. I get a wonderful nights sleep. Any additional amount makes me groggy.

I have tried other over the counter sleeping meds and this is the best, without interaction. The following morning , no hungover.

Not for those with weak stomachs. Took the recomended dose, I don't sleep for anything, I didn't make it 10 minutes before throwing it back up. I'd rather spend my night sleepless in bed, than in the bathroom.

Took recommended dose at 11pm it worked with in half an hour at helping me get to sleep. However I was unable to wake up until 5pm the next day as every time I would try and get up I would fall right back to sleep within a minute or two. I will not be taking this again.

I FELT LIKE A SNAKE TRYING TO SHED MY SKIN, SO UNCOMFORTALE, BODY ANXIETY, TOOK A HOT SHOWER, HELPED A LITTLE, 2 HOURS SLEEP AFTER A LARGE BLACK COFFEE I FEEL OK NOW. NEVER AGAIN.

Works great for falling asleep and staying asleep all night - but now I know why I've been constipated :-O!

I am 19 years old, 100 pounds, and I take half of the recommended dosage every night. I have always had trouble sleeping at night because of depression, but ZzzQuil works in under 20 minutes and allows me to wake up refreshed every morning. Thank you so much for this. This has been a huge help to me!

Love this med. I am going to cardiologist today so I want to tell him about it & ask his opinion. Use a scissors, split the 2 caps in the middle of plastic & they will come out much easier.

I have no problems falling asleep, as soon as 4 a.m. rolls along I wake up like it's my job. I took 2 gels as directed and popped in a couple of ear plugs and slept like a baby. I woke up to use the bathroom about 3 and was able to go right back to sleep. No weirder dreams than usual and I woke up feeling great. It says it's not habit forming , but sleeping well is something I could easily get addicted to. Its been a very long time.
